The Cardplayer Lifestyle is returning with Mixed Game Festival to Las Vegas for its eighth iteration. The event has been to Sin City a few times already, but this is the first time the Festival will take place at the legendary Bellagio.
This time around, the event will be entirely a cash game affair, as there are no tournaments on the schedule. However, from June 16 – 20, those visiting the Bellagio Hotel and Casino will have the opportunity to enjoy a rich selection of low-stakes mixed-game action and plenty of special prizes.
The Mixed Game Festival has also partnered up with the Moneymaker Tour, and every day, one lucky player will receive a $400 entry into a tour side event. There will be five winners in total, and everyone who joins the action at the Bellagio will have a shot at one of them.
Mixed Games Around the Clock
The Cardplayer Lifestyle Mixed Game Festival is a brainchild of Robbie Strazynski, who came up with the event concept back in 2021. The vision behind it was to give an everyday player an opportunity to enjoy mixed games for a few days without breaking the bank.
Featuring primarily low-stakes cash games and very affordable tournaments, all featuring non-Hold’em games, the Festival took off, growing with every new iteration.
The event happening in June will gather fans of mixed games for the eighth time under the Cardplayer Lifestyle banner, with the legendary poker room hosting the players.
As mentioned, there is no tournament action on the docket this time around. Instead, cash game action will start at 12 pm every day, and it will last for as long as it lasts. Most tables will spread $4/$8 and $8/$16 limits, but higher games will be available at request.
The rake at the tables will be very player-friendly as well, capped at $5 per hand. Guests will enjoy free parking as long as they spend three or more hours at the tables, and those who decide to stay at the Bellagio during the Festival can get a special 25% discount on room prices.
Moneymaker Tour Tournament Entries up for Grabs
Every year, the Mixed Game Festival has a sponsor that provides special prizes for the participants. This time, that title goes to the Moneymaker Tour, which will award five $400 entries into Tour side events.
Lucky winners will not have to wait long to take advantage of their prizes, as the next Moneymaker Tour is set to take place at the MGM Grand June 28 – July 6.
One entry will be given away every day at a random time before 7 pm. The selection process will be completely random as well, as one table and seat number will be drawn.
The player occupying the lucky seat will need to answer one question about Chris Moneymaker, and if they do it correctly, they’ll receive a $400 tournament entry.
Like in the past, there will be plenty of other prizes up for grabs during the Festival, including various free merchandise from brands like Faded Spade, D&B Poker Publishing, and Pokercoaching.com.
While the eyes of the poker world will be heavily focused on the happenings at Paris and Horseshoe, where the 2024 World Series of Poker is taking place, the Cardplayer Lifestyle Mixed Game Festival VIII is a great opportunity to escape all the buzz for at least a few hours and enjoy a friendly game of poker!
